I bought my SOG SEAL PUP last week. Fit and finish is perfect! I was looking for a light weight hiking/wilderness knife and I found it! Handle fit to hand was great. Blade design and steel looks like it was made to last. Blade was scary sharp out of the box. I have the nylon sheath and I'm impressed with the quality of it. It appears to be a heavy duty sheath with room for my multitool in the front pocket. I can't wait to get out and take it for a hike. This knife was recommended to me by a
... young soldier who carried it on deployment and thinks very highly of it after using it daily for 2 years. I've owned a lot of knifes in my 57 years. From several hundred dollars to inexpensive. I must say this is my favorite so far!

Holds an edge and is good for bushcraft or camping or anything you need it for. I keep mine in my bug out bag. And very few pass the test of my bugout bag. By the way, the kydex sheath is worth it.

I bought one for myself and one for my son's girl friend. I bought the brass color one and it blends in with my other keys so no one even know's I have it. I read many reviews before buying and everyone said to stick with SOG and you won't be sorry with the quality. This key knife is very well made and I feel a lot safer now with it, plus it opens boxes and others item great. It's sharp!

I bought a 2 pack of these little guys! Ones on my work keys and another on my personal keys! Best way to always have a knife with you! Great for small tasks! I'm an Executive chef and always need a knife in my travels! From opening boxes to cutting crate ties! Always a must when putting away stock! It does the job with no issue! I have recommended these knives many times!

Excellent Customer Service

One of the reasons for buying this knife among others was the fact that the clip was reversible for left pocket carry. When I tried to change the clip around I found that the screw that holds it in place was to short to work. I sent an email in to customer service with my concerns over this. I emailed back and forth a couple times that day with Luke in Customer Service and within a couple days I had a screw that was the proper length in my mail box.

Everything I'm looking for in an EDC, I found it!

Been carrying one for 4 months, and the blade is extremely sharp. The assisted opening works flawlessly and I had great fun opening and closing it. It works well with left and right hand.
I was looking for an EDC folding knife with assisted opening, belt cutter, with a glass breaker, at a price that don't break the pocket. I found all these in the Trident Elite. It is as perfect an EDC as you can find for this price. Love it!

I've had my Slim Jim for about 6 months. Although the opening action is a bit stiff, this knife does exactly what I wanted it for - it's a moderately sized pocket knife that I can't even tell is in my pocket. I seriously can't tell its there when clipped inside my pocket, which is perfect. The belt clip is strong and sturdy, the lock is safe, and the blade is very sharp. Only downfall: From day 1, a flick of my thumb only gets it fully open about 25% of the time...which isn't the case with
... some of my other knives. This one often requires me to snap the wrist pretty significantly at the same time. Tried to adjust the screw but felt too stiff was better than too loose. All together, it's a very nice knife.

This knife is probably one of the strongest and comfortable to carry knives on the market plus the price is right.

Used the Carnivore X recently to strip branches from a fallen tree and clear some woody brush. Both the primary blade and the saw blade worked effectively on branches and stems up to 2 inches in diameter, with no visible or tangible blade edge deformation after use. Nice heft to it but weight is nonetheless well-distributed, making the Carnivore X easy to swing. The handle felt a little slippery with use despite the textured material, even when used while wearing rubber-palmed work gloves.
... Remedied the handle issue with some hockey tape.

The first thing that impressed me about this blade was the thickness and the weight. We all know that when it comes to hacking you want the weight of the tool to do the work for you. The Carn X is not too heavy and not too light. It does the job just fine. The handle on the other hand was kinda disappointing...when I was in the store looking at it I almost passed it up due to the bonded plastic handle but bought it do to the reason I gave above... Great little piece of gear to have in any
... situation...I made the right decision buying this product By the way, who would hack at tempered glass with an item like this???

Perfect everday carry knife.

Bought one about 6 months ago, bought another about a week after getting the first one in because i liked it so much, was worried about quality control with these cheap knives but the quality is nice, feels durable, all the features i wanted in a knife(tanto, g10 handle, at or under 8 inches long, and under 4.5oz). Great deal.

So far this knife has stood up to some abuse. I have the tendency to dull knives fairly fast using them cutting twine off round bales of hay and other farm chores but this knife has held an edge well. I would buy it again!

I love most everything about this knife, but there's one problem I have. When I pay this much for a knife, and from a company like benchmade, I expect everything to be perfect. The issue is the blade almost touches the liner when closed. When I tighten the pivot point to center the blade, the blade is pinched and comes out half way. Its not a huge deal and I'm being kind of picky, but I didn't pay $130 for a knife a little better than a knife I could get for $30-$50. I just got a fixed blade for
... edc because I want to do some more research on folders.

its a Benchmade. That is all you need to know. Its worth ever penny and comes from the factory sharper than you could make it. The size is perfect for EDC and it is extremely light. the flip open works as intended.

Bought this knife just a bit earlier. Lost my work knife & ran across this one with all the features I look for in my work knives. Was a bit dull but after a few runs on the stone, wow. Not impressed easily as I collect knives, but I've never seen a knife take an edge that quick that wasn't carbon steel. You can literally shave with it. Hopefully It holds an edge as well as it sharpens. It's still just an $8 work knife, though it's interesting.

I bought a few of these to use and to give away. Construction seems fine but I'm docking a star as they all DO NOT HAVE POCKET CLIPS. Even the blister packaging has no space to accomodate a pocket clip so it's evident that it was designed this way.

Most pocket knives sold on blister card displays are junk. This one looked different so I took a chance. It is the best small knife I have ever used. It's tight, finished smoothly and can't be matched for the price.

Excellent quality!

The Benchmade 581 is an excellent quality knife. The blade is very sharp out of the box, the spring assist mechanism works flawlessly and the handle is comfortable. When I first opened the box, I thought the knife would be too large for an EDC, but I started carrying it and I love the weight and feel of the knife. I've never spent $200 on a pocket knife before, but the knife does what it is supposed to do, and it does it very well. I have no remorse on the amount spent on this product.

Looked at several knives before settling on this one. Was most impressed at how sharp it was. The size is a little bigger than I thought it would be. Excellent knife for the money.

Better than the new Griptilian

Excellent steel selected for this knife (S30V), perfect blade length and shape (not too big not too small), elegant Dymondwood handle, reversible clip is simple yet solid, the lanyard hole is a nice bonus, and the grandest feature is the Axis lock system- so smooth and reliable for single hand opening AND safe closing. Yes, I say its better than the new Griptilian, why, 1) the steel used for the blade on the Griptilian (CPM-20CV) is a stronger steel= better edge retention but it is very
... difficult to resharpen "at home" where the S30V of this knife is far more feasible to resharpen if or when need be. 2) slightly thinner and more compact than the Griptilian. 3) The Dymondwood looks more elegant and refined; a gentleman's knife to be taken seriously where the Griptilian sadly blends in with any other bright looking G10 handled folding knife in everyone else's pocket. Razor sharp right out of the box, solid craftsmanship, well thought out design, all as to be expected from Benchmade. Only complaint is that it not be advertised as a Hunters knife but more so as an Outdoorsman's knife that serves beautifully as an EDC (every day carry).
